Don't wanna spend more than $60 per tire if possible. -Rob *Just turned over 100k @ 100 mph! 1998 Contour Sport V6 ATX w/ mods & DMD http://photobox.absoluteagency.com/home/default.asp?lackey

They have superior ratings and reviews, you won't be disappointed. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Ecsta+HP4+716&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=06HR5HP4&fromCompare1=yes

They should make the car hold just about as good in rain as it does when dry which is a plus and will hold real nice in dry too. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

Don't wanna spend more than $60 per tire if possible. Helps if you specify priorities other than price. If it's only price, Pep Boys will sell you "tires" that'll fit for less than $40 each probably. Noise, smooth ride, responsive handling, long life, quality, wet/snow traction. These are all considerations when buying tires, and many more too. At $60 each you're not looking at high performance rubber. You could probably get a set of Kuhmo 712s for that though, which crudely approximate performance tires. They're on my SVT as I type.
